Speaking From Experience: Evaluation

Overall the outcomes for this brief have been produced to a high standard considering the time pressures and lack of printing facilities available due to upcoming deadlines. The time constraints have lead to the designs feeling rush and could be improved further being produced to a higher standard if more time was available. Additionally it has been difficult to complete this brief due to commitments to studio brief 3 in relation to preparing the catalogue for the exhibition. If more time was available the illustrations could be refined further in order to produce more accurate drawings in the case of Amber and Pete whose illustrations are slightly generic. Despite these concerns the final designs are fun and engaging, effectively represent our experiences throughout first year. Throughout this brief feedback gained help effectively develop our designs allowing for more consistant books to be created. Whilst the primary research conducted has aided in developing contextual relevant booklets that accuratly reflect each tutor/module. The thorough research conducted has allowed for the development of recognisable illustrations due to the ability to reduce the designs down to simple identifiable features as inspired by Massimo Vignelli  quote 'We like Design that is clear, simple and enduring' which is a key aspect of design I've learn this year and want to communicate to new students. Overall considering the short time span and limited facilities available when designing and producing these outcomes, they have been created to a high standard allowing for an engaging and contextual relevant design to be produced.
